Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

grannygate

Grandparents (my parents)are trying to interfere in the raising of my children, even after being told it was none of their business. The gma went to school to tell the children not to listen to mom and dad, but to follow their rules. They began by threatening to sue for grandparents rights when one child was grounded. They tried to get my children taken away by calling CPS, by contacting other parents at the school, and also the principal. They have contacted other family memebers, as well as our neighbors, saying harmful and hateful things about me. That did not get the results they wanted, so they have been attacking by phone and email(I have saved all the email). I feel it is unsafe for my children to be around gma and gpa, and have effectively cut all personal relations with them. However, the emails and calls continue. Gma has come to our home and threatened me if I did not let her inside, but I did not. Do I need to file for a protective order, restraining order, and/or file trespassing and harassment charges to get her to leave us alone? Can I do anything about emails and phone calls? Does she have to be on our property for me to file trespassing charges? Please help. Thank you.

Re: grannygate

I'd change my phone number (get it unlisted) and change my email address.

If you are married, it is very difficult for a grandparent to interfere for your rights.

The school should not be talking to your parents.

Good luck!
